To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How deeply he drank of the " Pierian Spring!" How often the allusion adorned his diction ! How fre- quently, even in religious discussions, his speech was graced with sentiments drawn directly from the clas- sic fountains ! another insatnce that sacred eloquence and prayer alike have flowed from lips " Wet with Castalian dews ! " He was even more devoted to Hebrew than* Greek. He understood perfectly the genius and laws of the language. He loved it, moreover, chiefly because of its contents. He... could repeat Psalms and sections of the Prophets without difficulty. It was not for mere liter- ary amusment, however, he loved the study of the lan- guages. A nobler motive spurred him to their diligent pursuit. It was to be able to reach with certainty, for himself, the heart of divine truth; to "open and pass through " the nearest doors to the mind of the "Spirit;" to be able to serve God with his best powers, and to sow seed for eternal life. His last effort was a re- translation of the celebrated epistle to Diognetus, and an argument built thereupon to prove in opposition to modern infidel schools of criticism, ' how deeply the very words of the gospels had sunk into the hearts of the Christian Church in the beginning of the second century.
